        Battery. Just jump started my wifes today, was fixing the rear wiper and accidentally left tbe ignition on for well over an hour son and wife gave it a push start and after a 20 min spin round the block (just testing my hearing) it's fine again!

                You're not allowed to go anyway in the UK? I had my car services and repaired a few weeks ago. The dealer just took some precaution like face protection, but was open the whole time.

                  With so much demands on car batteries these days the battery will have to be in the best condition all of the time-even more so in the winter bso having one that's got a bigger amp hour rating will tolerate a lot more abuse than the standard rated one that is normally fitted, so if you have to change the battery get a bigger rated one - - - Dave

                    Lockdown has been eased in England but not in Scotland....but I think Nicolarse Sumpplug is easing some restrictions today

                      Were hoping for a slight lift in Wales Friday.
